C546 Benefits (1/2)
”What about the middle road?”
”Not chasing.”
No one knew how the Fourth Prince judged him, but seeing his rage, even Wu Qimai did not dare to ask, and immediately split up to give chase.
Jin Wushu took the lead and walked along the left path. Blood gushed out of his head as he thought to himself, King Qin can be said to have two birds with one stone, it was extremely sinister. Not only did he receive a large amount of silver taels, he could also provoke a dispute with Song Jin. He was not Hua Rong, and was not afraid of the blood flowing like rivers. He did not care about the casualties on both sides, and was happy as long as he could take the courage from the flames. Ever since Song Jin had negotiated, Jinguo's ideal attitude was to sit on the sidelines and watch the battle. Right now, when the silver was thrown, it would inevitably involve the fight between the two nations. This was a situation that Jin Wushu was not willing to see.
He chased with a burning heart. Another twenty li, but he had completely lost track of the horses and mules. At this time, it suddenly began to rain, getting harder and harder for everyone to open their eyes. The summer rain came quickly and left quickly. After the rain had passed, everyone realized that the road ahead was muddy, other than the footprints left behind by their side, King Qin's group had already disappeared into thin air.
Jin Wushu was so shocked that even the heavens were against him.
”Fourth Prince, how do we chase them?”
”Keep going forward, King Qin. This crown prince doesn't believe that you can escape by spreading your wings.”
At dusk.
Residence of the fourth prince was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere. Even the setting sun, which had always seemed beautiful, lost its charm. It looked like it was about to bleed.
Hua Rong dismounted from her horse and immediately, two guards impatiently brought up their sabers: ”Let's go, no one is allowed to come near.”
”I'm looking for Fourth Prince.”
”Who are you? What are you looking for Fourth Prince for? ”
The group of guards looked unfamiliar, and Hua Rong said indifferently: ”You said Hua Rong is looking for him.”
”The Fourth Prince is not at home.”
Hua Rong looked around, but she did not know if what the guard said was true or not. It was still the Old Housekeeper from back then. Seeing that it was Hua Rong, he was overjoyed: ”Quick, quickly come in.” She then rolled her eyes at the two guards. ”You're blind. Even madam doesn't know how to welcome you …”
Madam, which lady?
The bodyguards looked at each other, the butler did not know how to address them, so he vaguely called them ”Madam”. Whether it was Madame Yue or Lady Jin, they both understood. Although he did not go to the grasslands for a holiday, he heard his family members who came back talk about the Golden Book Jade Ribbon that the Fourth Prince had given Princess Hua Rong before. He could not figure out the relationship between them, and he did not know if it was truly an imperial concubine. In any case, Hua Rong actually came looking for him herself, if Fourth Prince found out about it, wouldn't she be extremely happy?
”Madam, please come in …”
”Is the Fourth Prince here?”
The butler was perplexed, ”The Fourth Prince has sent troops and hasn't come back yet.”
Jin Wushu sent troops? What kind of great battle has he been fighting recently?
”Oh? ”Since he's not at home, I won't go in.”
”How can this be? ”It's not easy to make a trip here …”
Hua Rong turned to leave, but the butler hastily tried to urge her to stay. He hastily chased after him, but she heard a burst of hurried Horseshoe s, who were returned with a group of Fourth Prince's guards.
”Fourth Prince is back …” The butler was overjoyed and went forward to welcome him. Hua Rong stopped and looked in surprise at Jin Wushu who had returned with a travel worn look.
Jin Wushu reined his horse, and upon seeing Hua Rong, he was extremely surprised, with a look of joy in his eyes: ”Why are you here?”
Before Hua Rong could reply, he suddenly pressed her hand on her chest after she finished speaking. With a frown, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone was shocked, Hua Rong too, and upon closer inspection, she realized that Jin Wushu's face was ashen, his complexion extremely ugly, but he did not seem to be injured at all.
Everyone immediately surrounded him: ”Fourth Prince, what's wrong?”
”Quick, pass on the information to the witch doctor …”
”Quickly go in …”
Jin Wushu waved his hand to stop the crowd from bustling with activity, he only stared at Hua Rong, and this was the first time Hua Rong took the initiative to look for his, and furthermore, his eyes revealed a tinge of worry. The worry was like a magic potion, and he pulled herself together a little, delighted, and jumped off her horse, striding toward her.
”Fourth Prince, what are you doing?”
”I'm fine, let's go. If you have anything to say let's talk inside.”
